The mayor In MS annual message says
the question of water supply will soon
come TO the front and demand recognition"
1t does not appear very clear to many just
why the question of water supply" is be-
coming "question' in Ottawa at this time,
unless it Is because the water. works" fever
atllicting so many towns throughout the
country has deposited germs here which
are leginning to develop In a city so sit
uated as Ottawa, with some IS artesian
wells already and where such wells cost
but from $500 to 5000 completed, giving a
house all the water ii can use for an indet-
mite number of years al net cost OF 500
for lifetime, the demand is not pressing
for domestic water supply as yet, while
with canals and rivers on all sides, and
Cation water through the business centre,
the demand tor manufacturing purposes is
not specially urgent as yet. A water sup
ply is nice thing to have, undoubtedly
but ii Is expensive. 1t is not of the high
est practicable use without a system of
sewerage, and that costs more than the
water supply, and 1t is what Ottawa has
not For instance, all that portion of the
business part of the city west of Fox River
and south of jefferson street, except prob
ably dozen places allowed TO use the
county court house sewer is totally without
sewerage, unable to drain even storm water
from the buildings except into back yards
or across sidewalks into cutters. Most OF
these buildings have Cation water now, yet
not one can have water closets flushed be
cause there is no place to drain to, nor car
the water be kept running for cooling
drinking water unless it be run into the
sand under the foundations of the buildings
Almost the entire residence portion of the
city Is without sewers, The natural anC
main question" just now Is, therefore, car
the city of Ottawa afford To go into eXten
